training FAQs
How long does aerial work platform (MEWP) certification take?
Most operators complete certification in a single half- to full-day session, depending on group size and how much hands-on practice is needed. We confirm exact timing with you when you book. [Confirm AFSC’s actual course length.]
How much does aerial lift training cost?
Standard operator certification is $150 per person for boom lift, scissor lift, or telehandler. Group bookings and Train-the-Trainer programs are quoted per project — request a quote with your crew size and location.
Do you deliver training on-site at our location?
Yes. AFSC training is delivered on-site at your worksite across Alberta, British Columbia, and throughout Western Canada (including Nunavut). On-site delivery means your crew trains on familiar equipment with no travel or downtime.
What equipment does this course cover?
This course covers self-propelled and boom-type aerial work platforms — boom lifts, scissor lifts, and telehandlers. Need forklift, excavator, or other equipment? See our full course list or ask about a combined on-site session.
Is the certification recognized, and how long is it valid?
Operators receive a certificate and wallet card on successful completion, recognized by employers across Canada. Certification is typically valid for three years before refresher training is recommended. [Confirm AFSC’s validity period and standard referenced, e.g. CSA B354.]
Are there any prerequisites to take the course?
Operators should be at least 18, able to safely operate equipment, and able to follow instruction in English. No prior certification is required — the course covers theory and hands-on operation from the ground up. [Adjust to AFSC’s requirements.]
